Soba is a relatively quiet Chiot. He's friendly and helpful, but he speaks softly and and rarely. He likes to keep to himself for the most part, though he is more than willing to work in a group setting and hang out with others that he gets along with.

Soba is the son of a bookshop owner and a seamstress. His father went missing years ago after going on an expedition that he never returned from, and he lost his mother only five years ago due to illness. He has two younger siblings, Ramen and Udon , and he takes care of them and his family's shop now that his parents are gone. He is obsessed with learning more about the outside world, and about what really happened to his father.

His family's bookshop is somewhat popular, but has relatively few customers. He goes on expeditions not only to discover more about the world, but to find treasures to sell in order to supplement his low income. He's determined to provide for his family, and works exceptionally hard during any expeditions he takes part in, often offering to carry large amounts of heavy supplies.

He and his siblings live in a studio above the bookshop.
